The different design office. Yes, that's what we are. When our customers digitize their business or automate their production, they trust us. They will trust you as our project manager to guide and support internal or customer teams. Whether aiming for new innovative products, safer machines, production efficiency or additional capacity, you play one of the key roles in our projects. Would you be interested in hearing in more detail what kind of world you would enter when becoming our co-worker?

We work alongside our customers to build a new generation of devices and systems - we modernize and build new products, machines, and digital solutions in both Sweden and all around the world. Our customers are ranging from promising start-ups that need a team to develop their very first product or prototype to global companies in MedTech, industry, energy, moving machines and telecom sectors. Their base is very diverse, thus, the operating models and methods in our projects vary as well. The duration of our projects is often calculated in months - although delivery and product development projects can also be longer. 

In your role, you are responsiblefor leading interdisciplinary teams in different fields of technologies and industry. This diverse role and our extremely diverse clients offer you a wide range of opportunities for self-realization and development. It is possible for you to work based on your own strengths as we strive to consider your wishes regarding projects and your daily work. The preferred location for this position is Uppsala. 
The Uppsala office has a cross functional team with engineers within mechanics, electronics, embedded SW, AI/ML/Computer vision, battery technology and technical information. Many of our projects are performed inhouse with both local and global customers and the main industries are life science, IoT, green tech and electrification. 

What can we offer you?
Development.One of the riches of your work is its variety. Even if you don’t constantly switch from one project to another, it’s possible for you to see, experience and learn a lot. We work with leading companies in their industries, which will surely take you to the forefront of embedded technology. 
Future.We are on the path towards profitable growth. For you this means stability, security, and opportunities that our growth brings to your career. 
Together.While your work can be very independent you are not alone. You always have someone to ask advice or help from. You can also make an impact in your own role. Your opinions matter and they are listened to. 
Humanity.You will become part of an open and knowledgeable team of experts. Even though we are already a big company we have not lost our humanity. We work together and continuously succeed in doing so. 
Above all, you get a chance to feel professional pride in a job well done. For us work-life balance is important, and we believe taking time to live life will only inspire your work. We offer exercise benefits; we have flexible working hours and a new hybrid policy for remote work possibilities. 

How does it sound this far?If you are interested in this opportunity, let’s look at what skills you will need to succeed in this role. 
To succeed in this role, you have a solid experience in project management and as a leader. You are solution oriented, organized and take responsibility. Since your role includes quite some customer contact you need to be a skilled communicator with a professional attitude.
Additionally, you embody good analytical skills and preferably hold an M.Sc. degree in an engineering discipline or a similar applicable area. If you have experience as a software developer yourself and have led agile/scrum teams that is definitely a bonus. The same is true if you have experience with MedTech standards and tools like Jira, Azure DevOps or similar.
You are also fluent in written and spoken English and Swedish. As a senior co-worker you also find it inspiring to guide less experienced colleagues to grow! 

In addition to sufficient experience, you will ensure your success with your proactive, self-guided and systematic approach towards your work. You know how to find solutions and overcome challenges. You are a team player with a customer-oriented approach. At the same time, you don’t have to be an expert in everything, the Etteplan team is there to support you!
